Justin Bartha Biography

Fort Lauderdale-born, West Bloomfield, MI-raised actor Justin Bartha earns a footnote for one of the more eccentric debuts in American film, when he signed to portray a mentally impaired, rapping kidnap victim in [[Performer~P82954~Martin Brest~martinbrest]]'s colossal turkey [[Feature~V282034~Gigli~gigli]] (2003). Given the film's poor reception, the assignment represented something of a setback for Bartha, but the role at least clocked in a memorable one and paved the way for continued work in Hollywood A-listers -- notably in the outings [[Feature~V289256~National Treasure~nationaltreasure]] (2004) and [[Feature~V379149~National Treasure: Book of Secrets~nationaltreasure:bookofsecrets]] (2007), and the [[Performer~P55134~Sarah Jessica Parker~sarahjessicaparker]]/[[Performer~P196967~Matthew McConaughey~matthewmcconaughey]] romantic comedy [[Feature~V329645~Failure to Launch~failuretolaunch]] (2006). He would go on to appear in the major comedy landmark The Hangover franchise and in the sitcom The New Normal, which was canceled after only one season. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
